System DescriptionNBEL0057WIPER OPERATIONNBEL0057S01The front wiper switch is controlled by a lever built into the combination switch.
There are three wiper switch positions:
ILO speed
IHI speed
IINT (Intermittent)
With the ignition switch in the ACC or ON position, power is supplied
Ithrough 20A fuse [No. 19, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
Ito front wiper motor terminal 4, and
Ito front wiper switch terminal 15.
Low and High Speed Wiper OperationNBEL0057S0101Ground is supplied to front wiper switch terminal 17 through body grounds E13 and E41.
When the wiper switch is placed in the LO position, ground is supplied
Ithrough terminal 14 of the front wiper switch
Ito front wiper motor terminal 3.
With power and ground supplied, the front wiper motor operates at low speed.
When the front wiper switch is placed in the HI position, ground is supplied
Ithrough terminal 16 of the front wiper switch
Ito front wiper motor terminal 1.
With power and ground supplied, the front wiper motor operates at high speed.
Auto Stop OperationNBEL0057S0102With front wiper switch turned OFF, front wiper motor will continue to operate until wiper arms reach windshield
base.
When wiper arms are not located at base of windshield with front wiper switch OFF, ground is provided
Ifrom terminal 14 of the front wiper switch

Ithrough body grounds M77 and M111.
When wiper arms reach base of windshield, front wiper motor terminals 2 and 4 are connected instead of ter-
minals 2 and 6. Wiper motor will then stop wiper arms at the PARK position.
Intermittent OperationNBEL0057S0103The front wiper motor operates the wiper arms one time at low speed at a set interval of approximately 2 to
13 seconds. This feature is controlled by the wiper amplifier built in the front wiper switch.
When the front wiper switch is placed in the INT position, ground is supplied
Ito wiper amplifier (INT SW)
Ifrom wiper switch terminal 17
Ithrough body grounds E13 and E41, and
Ito wiper motor terminal 3
Ithrough the wiper switch terminal 14
Ithrough wiper amplifier (OUTPUT)
WASHER OPERATIONNBEL0057S02With the ignition switch in the ACC or ON position, power is supplied
Ithrough 20A fuse [No. 19, located in the fuse block (J/B)]
